Small rant. Filed 3 weeks ago, separated about 12 weeks, been seeing a therapist for a couple of months. I'm not ready to start a real relationship but have done a lot of healing and am ready to at least get out of the apartment and meet up. Installed Tinder, probably deleted 3 times, lol. All matches are bots trying to get me to click a bizarro link. Had one today where they wanted to move the convo to WhatsApp, talked for the day and they seemed real, but then they pivoted to bitcoin and what my investments are then ghosted. I'm having to google what all these new personality, non-monogamous, sexual identity terms mean... but did match with a real person and we're meeting for coffee this weekend. I'm not expecting anything other than coffee, but I'm excited someone's interested after feeling like a ghost in my marriage for a year and a half.

My sister recommended Hinge, that it has a better verification process. I'll probably get on that in a few months after losing some more weight and am more serious about finding someone.

Update: We met and she was not a bot, lol. We both had fun, walked around and laughed, there were some awkward pauses, but she texted later and wants to meet up again next weekend. She has a divorce from her 20s, watching her talk about it there were so many micro expressions of competing feelings, it was nice to see that's normal. I do plan to take it slow.
